Start soaking

Another quick home cleaning tip is to soak up a storm if you want to make the most impact in under an hour. It’s important to have tasks in the works while you’re already doing one, says a cleaning expert.

Sort small removable fixtures, dishware, forgotten hand towels, and utensils into warm water bins and a Safely Universal Cleaner capful. For a “mega-soak,” pros recommend using your tub for washable blinds and shades.

As things soak, run your washing machine and dishwasher to double up on your cleaning session. And don’t forget about your toilet.

Before starting to clean other spaces, pre-treat your bathroom. Pour some toilet cleaner into the bowl, close the lid, and let it sit for about 20 minutes.

Don’t use too much product

Using excessive amounts of product can actually make it more challenging to clean because you’ll be spending more time wiping away all that extra cleaning agent. So don’t go overboard!
